Solid Food!

Clara and Emma both had their first taste of solid food for their six month birthday. Many of you know, Mommy has been anxious about how this was going to work and has been asking many of her friends about how to do it. Of course, she learned that everyone does it differently!

Mommy and Daddy decided to start feeding them in the Bumbo seats. Mommy thought that she could use one bowl, but because Clara and Emma are on different formulas, each girl got her own special bowl and spoon. Because Clara is sometimes constipated, the Dr. suggested we begin with Oatmeal. Mommy decided to go organic, which will be make Grandma Frome very happy! The last prop for the first feeding included special bibs that Clara and Emma got for hanukkah from Mommy and Daddy. The pink bibs with pearls will remind you that Clara and Emma are little ladies in training and have some of their Mommy's southern roots in them!

Mommy fed Emma the first spoonful and was suprised when it didnt get spit out. In fact, she liked it! Daddy took over and fed Emma while Mommy fed Clara. She seemed to want more and more!

Clara also enjoyed it. She grabbed the spoon, took the bowl and bit on it, put her fingers in the oatmeal and seem to enjoy it.
